Sunday, August 27, 2017: After we had had our fill – with good food and with the wonderful pictures of the waterfalls – we wanted to see at least some of the fantastic sculptures in downtown Sioux Falls, but before we drove that short distance, there were two to be seen in Falls Park itself:

Move the cursor over a picture to see the caption. A click on any of the pictures in the gallery will open a slide show. Those views will also allow you to read some of the exif-data, to see the picture in its full resolution, and to leave a comment.

With this sculpture here, “Willow“, I owe it to Mary, who always is much more attentive than I am and finds interesting aspects, that we could take this picture, which I’d call “I’ll get the moon down from the sky for you“. I believe it’s a fitting end to this walk.

Rabbit Rock made me laugh. Sioux Falls certainly has changed since I visited in the 60s and 70s. I enjoyed the waterfall photos, and there are some nice pieces here, too. I especially enjoyed seeing the bison.

This is a great photo album. It’s wonderful to have a city with all this great sculptures! Even the one that might be the most weird & whimsical, “School Spirit,” is very appealing and I love it! Sioux Falls is smart to invest in this way — I’m much more inclined to visit there now.

That city really did a fantastic job with these statues. And they have had this going for so long, with some of the sculptures changing. Well, they can be bought. That may account for the fluctuation. What we liked so much was the diversity.
Maybe you should really go there.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to do a road trip to Detroit, St. Paul-Minneapolis, and into the Dakotas, etc. But I’m starting a new job pretty soon, and moving to Boston for a while, so for now, I guess I’ll look around New England, instead.
